nEEPENING MYSTERIES.

In Searching for the Corpse of One Muir
dsred Man Chicago Police Find That of
Another.
CHIrAUo. March 24.-JacOb Kuebler
has made confession regarding the dis
appearance Of Frederick Wirth. Euebler
entered the Twenty-secOnd street police
station At an early hour last evening and
said that Wirth had been murdered, and
that the body WAS sunk in the river at the
Red Bridge" at Archer avenue. Officers
were sent to the Red Bridge" this
morning and are engaged in draggi ng
the river in that vicinity. So far their
efforts have hreu unsuccessful, and it il
thought that the body has drifted
i'm the rotten piliugS along the dock. Lieut..
Dams said this morning that Jacob kueb-
Ter had some trouble with his brothec Her
man and Peter Nichols who were also
susperted OF hcjng implicated in the diSap-
prlrauce OF Wirth The police think that
huebler Is crazy.
While searching at Red Bridge" the
police dltcOyered the body Of a man which
had evidently been in the water some time,
but which. when brought to the surface,
proved Ia he body of another man than
WIrth. Ii WAS found in the water at the
identical spot where it was stated the body

GnIIfY Of Two NIurtlers.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Peter Smith,
who is to be hanged in the Tombs prison
ward on May 5th, for the murder of John
Hannah, is accused of being guilty Of even
a worse crime, namely, the killing OF his
father year before he shot Hannah. The
police have been trying for weeks, but
without success, TO solve the mystery,
Smiths father was found dead one morn
ing in the stable where he had kept his
horses, with a bullet hole in his head. IL
was believed at the time that he had COM
mitted suicide, but it is now thought that
the son killed him for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning few thousand dollars which the
old man had saved. Smith and his father
were always quarrelling, which adds color
10 tie belief now entertained with regard
to the latter's death.

CHICAGO, March 24.-The Nelcs pub

so long rs they are not presented to
eOurt the jury of course has the right TO
change its mind. 1t is evident that there
is some delay in the proceedings, but the
jury is unanimous in its opinion. know
this to be true"
The official corruption was barefaced
enough for the jury to make its present
ments almost at the very outset of this in
vestigatiOn. Some of the merchants and
contractors who have been subjected to the
sharp questioning before this body of
twenty-three staupch citizens have exhib-
tied themselves in a most pitiable light.
While these men have confessed their guilt
it is probable that in consideration for their
services some of them will escape punish
ment, excepting. perhaps, the disgrace at
tachiDg TO an indictment. The authOri-
ties are after the arch-thieves. The evi-
dence has been overwhelming against the
bOOdlers of high and low degree.
THE indictments are likely to be turn
ed into court any time. Judge AthOny
has finished the work on his docket, but
he stands ready to open court and receive
the presentments. l hardly think they
will all come in bunch. The jury is not
through with this investigation, and there
is no estimating how many counts will be
found. The indictments and arrests that
followed last week were FASTENED by the
fact that there were reasons for believing
certain men were preparing to skin"

ADECK-HAND'S CRIME.
Brutal Murder of ColOred Girl Who Had
Deserted Him.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 24.-Clarence
Ectler, a deck-hand who has been living
with Tina Manley, n mulattO girl, came in
yesterday morning and found her gone
from their room.
He followed her To y neigbbOring tene-
ment and dragged her out of bed. She
said that she would not live with him
again because of the brutal treatment she
had received at his hands upon the Occa-
sion of his former trip to town.
Ectler then drew longbladed clasp
knife and plunged it into her side. The
blade sank deep into the flesh, and the
girl, with scream of terror, eudeayOred
to escape. Again and again was the knife
raised and plunged into the body of the
girl, and finally, satisfied with his work,
the brute dashed from the house unmo-

New YORK, March pa correspondent
from this city, writing 10 a Western news
paper, stated that Mrs. l.angtry had given
up Fred Gebhlrd and was about TO marry
Arthur Dasent, who il described "a being q

this, the correspondent says, is based mp
on the fact that Mrs. Langtry showed Mr..

NEWARK, o., March 24.-Last Sunday
night Jacob Bread and his wife had fam
lily quarrel. The woman scalded her hus-
band by throwing boiling water on him,
causing him intense pain. The flesh was
horribly burned, and he was a sickening
sight. The man fingered in terribly agony
until last night, when he died. No person
WAS allowed to enter the house The
woman is reported now as being maniac,
after seeing the terrible result of her anger.
1t is found necessary to keep her locked in

The husband and wife are both Germans,
and had not lived happily together.

meree Commissioners, but they will be

the commissioners upon their arrival.
Information WAS to-day received that
Judge Cooley cannot reach Washington

mission together before that time, rs other
members also have their private affairs TO

that each of them will give as much atten-
tion as possible to the study Of the law In
the meantime so that upon coming togeth-
er no time may be lost.
II is hoped that the Secretary of the In
terror may be able to provide at least tenn
porary quarters before the close OF next

it's first action will be to organize, and
then it will proceed as promptly as posi-

after the style of Louis Napoleon. He has
resided in Cuba for many years, and speaks
the Spanish like a native. The captain
general of the island, who is the ruler of it
appointed by Spain, invited Senator
Sherman and his party to call
upon him informally, and, with
General Williams az interpreter, the
Senatorial party visited him at his palace
to-day. The Captain General is the big
gest man in Cuba. He has almost despOtic
power, and he is more of q monarch in
this respect than most of the European
kings. He receives, am told, salary of
$50, 900 year and has perquisites which
often run into many thousands more. He
has q house here AT Havana furnished for
him, and his position is altogether most
desirable one. He is always, as are almost
all of tho officials of Cuba, Spauiard, and
is appointed for an indefinite time by the
Spanish crown.
Taking carriages at the hotel the party
drove out to call upon the captain general
at his country seat in the suburbs of Ha-
yana. We passed through the park with
its bare ground and palm trees, and down
by the great TacOm market where this
tropical crowd of Spaniards, Cubans, Gre
oles, negroes and Cinnamon .jOstle each
other in buying food, by great OK teams
with heads down pushing along carts by
yOkes attached to their foreheads, through
narrow, streets where turbaned negro
women sat on the curbstOnes and smoked
great cigars, and on into the undulating
country until we are in the Paso de TacOn.
This is the Champs Elyssee, of Havana,
and upon it drive the gayest carriages of
the city. We passed some of these, which
were driven by coachmen in livery and
which were drawn by the Spanish horses
which are so noted the world over. In
these carriages we saw beautiful Spanish
ladies, their heads dressed in the mantilla
of the country, and their large liquid eyes
looking curiOusly at our procession as we
drove ny

Attorney HoIcomb's Residence Fired by an
neutrality-suspicious. of Lynching.
GALLIPOLIs, O., March PA dastardly
attempt was made this morning at three
o'clock to burn the residence of Chauncey
HolcOmb, attorney at law. Coffee sacks sat
urated with carbon oil were thrust under a
ventilating hole under his parlor window
near the fire place, and set on fire. Mr..
HOlcOmb had been at Wichita, Kas. for sew
eral weeks, and his wife and her mother,
Mrs. Yaughters, of Portsmouth, and Mrs
Walter HOlcomb, sister-in-law of c. Hol-
comb, of VntOn, were at home, and sleep
ing in a room adjoining the ParlOr. They
were aroused by the cracking OF the burn
ing floor, and rushed out and gave the
alarm, and also set about throwing water
on the flames, which were eXtinguished
without great damage.
This morning traces of carbon oil were
followed to very near the residence Of
Lewis Short, a white man with cOlOred
wife, aud an eX-cOnyiCt sent up from Law
renee county. Short was arrested and had
his examination and was bound over to
court in the sum of $500 this afternoon.
1t was shown that he had on other
clothes from yesterday, and that
shortly before his arrest his wife had
been engaged in cleaning his clothes, which
were damp and hanging ont to dry, and
that the scent of oil WAS clearly upon them
though efforts had been made to Obliterate
the smell with sugar and cinnamon found
in a small box in the room. The print of
the smoothing iron was also found on the
damp clothes.
The affair raised great excitement through
town and there was considerable talk OF
lynching th6priSOner. Various theories arc
atloat in regard to the matter Some think
Short to be the tool of some enemy lIOl-
comb has made in the practice of his pro-
